What is the lowest, average, and the highest CTC offered at NICMAR Pune campus for ACM? Having 2 years of experience, what package can I expect?
There is no such thing as lowest CTC in NICMAR. It's very clear that if you don't perform well during the interview you will not receive any job offers.
Now talking about the salary package, the batch of 2020 received an average package of 6.75 LPA. The placement percentage was recorded to be 99.2%
Coming to the question regarding how much you could expect depends upon various factors like your academic performance, the ongoing market scenarios, and your performance on the day. Additionally, if you have two years of work experience then it will all go well and you can even expect a package above 5 LPA.
I got admission in nicmar pune in ACM but many present students from nicmar are advising not to join due to less placements is it true?
If you have joined Pune Campus, sit and relax. NICMAR is one of the reputed institutes for Construction Management. You will enjoy an unparalleled level of respect whenever you apply to companies like KPMG, L&T, Shapoorji Pallonji.
However, the university will not provide you with everything. You have to work hard to grasp such reputation and job profiles. If you are scoring only 60% in your PG degree and expecting to secure a job offer on the very 1st day, then you are wrong.
The placement process is very rigorous and you might have to go through at least six stages to secure a job offer. Your profile, personality, caliber, capability, and hard work determine the job role you will get.
ACM has a huge strength of 800+ students and if you don't work hard then the recruiters would not have reasons to select you.
After doing a BE in civil engineering, is it worth doing construction management from NICMAR Pune?
Post Graduate Program in Advanced Construction Management is a course specifically designed for civil engineers and architects. Both technical studies and management studies are combined to create this course. This is the finest course to take if you want to study construction management. The course's scope is wider, which means you can pursue numerous career profiles such as site execution and control, planning, health, safety, and the environment, valuation and estimating, and so on.
The course is multi-disciplinary combining aspects of civil engineering, general management, and construction project management.
The duration of the course is 21 months, having 7 trimesters of 3 months each. The 4th trimester is kept for summer internship and exams are held every 3 months.
The eligibility for the course is having a Bachelor's degree in Engineering or Architecture with a minimum of 50% degree.
The admission consists of 4 steps:
- NICMAR Common Admission Test: 150 marks
- GD: 20 marks
- Personal Interview: 30 marks
- Rating of Application: 50 marks
There is an admission for sponsored category too. First, you need to go through the admission test and pay 50% fees higher than the tuition fees. However, sponsored students are not provided with any placement assistance.
The institute assures 100% placement assistance but the compensation depends on your performance.
Overall the course is good but still, I would suggest you first go for 2 years experience in the field and then go for the course.
What is the salary package after doing ACM from NICMAR Pune having 5 years of experience in the construction field?
One of my friends had recently joined NICMAR and here are some things he suggested that might help you with your question.
- It would be highly recommended to take the Distance Course if the aspiring candidate is very serious about pursuing this course.
- The degree is not much worth the cost that one is paying.
- Most of the prior experienced candidates got job offers with lesser salaries than they were getting before.
- The average CTC offered is around INR 6 LPA wherein you do not have much choice with the company that you can get placed anywhere else.
Thus, it is important to take suggestions from students who have recently passed out or are currently graduating and then make the decision.
What is the scope for me from changing my admission offer from NICMAR ACM hyd to ACM Pune?
Post Graduate Program in Advanced Construction Management (PGP-ACM) is the best course offered at NIMCAR.
The Pune campus is the best among all as the placements are great there. However, the Hyderabad campus is also not bad if not better than the Pune campus. The faculty is top-notch as well.
It is highly unlikely to get a shift from Hyderabad to Pune. You may like the Pune campus but the Hyderabad campus is also really good and you should not worry much about which campus you are getting.
Being a mechanical engineer, should I do an ACM from NICMAR, Delhi NCR?
My brother is a mechanical engineer who took the path you're planning to take. You can surely do ACM from NICMAR. Although, I will recommend that you do it from the Pune Campus.
It is better in terms of Placement opportunities available. It is more diverse and will help you in being exposed to varied perspectives.
A lot of opportunities await you as a Mechanical Engineer in the Middle East in HVAC and in the MEP Departments of Construction Companies.
What is the difference between the advanced construction management and project management course offered by NICMAR, Pune? What is the difference between the work profile?
There is a clear demarcation between the both. Project management is basically preparing a student for the project industry whereas advanced construction management is related to construction projects.
- At NICMAR, the first year of both the courses are the same as any other general management.
- But from next year you get the projects according to your subjects like PEM students get the project industry experience in the oil or gas industry whereas ACM students get exposure to the construction projects.
- For both the courses there is a perfect mix of faculty internally as well as some renowned professionals from outside, so that students can learn every aspect of their course.
- Considering the profile, it totally depends upon your interest but mostly it has been seen that the civil engineers opt for ACM while mechanical or electrical engineers opt for PEM.
- Though it is not mandatory, it totally depends upon the choice of an individual.
Lastly, we can say that there is a clear difference between the two courses, so search for the same before taking admission in any of the fields.
After doing a PGP in ACM from NICMAR, which job will I be getting, and how will be life after that?
After you pass out from NICMAR, that name has a lot of significance. The organization you join values it plainly, and they have strong standards (these standards were established by former students who are currently in key management positions).
NICMAR students mostly get placed in Planning/Contracts/Business development/ Tendering kind of profiles.
The early years would involve a lot of work and long hours. Once you adapt, learn, and establish yourself, you'll soon succeed in your roles and be able to compete in decision-making with top management.
This is a fundamental concept for whatever company you work for following NICMAR. Simply put, NICMAR is a way to add quality and relevance to your hard work so that you might succeed at a faster rate. It is not a shortcut to a better life or job.
Should I join PGP ACM NICMAR Pune as a fresher?
The highest package of NICMAR Pune is 24 LPA, and the average package stands at 9LPA, so if you are a fresher with an excellent academic record, you could definitely think about going to NICMAR since they have an excellent scholarship policy for the students with more than 95% throughout their school and undergraduate degree.
There are good brands like L&T, Axis Bank, JMC Projects (India), and Zetwerk who regularly visit the campus, but being a fresher the CV shortlisting for all the big brands would be slightly tricky unless you have a great resume. So, start working on your resume if you want to spend 13 lac of your money for an average package of 8-9LPA
Is getting in NICMAR for a PGP ACM a good option when I have no work experience?
Even though you do not have prior work experience, doing PGP ACM from NICMAR will always help you and give you an edge in the field of Engineering.
I have friends who joined NICMAR Pune just after UG in Civil Engineering. Some joined ACM and some joined PM at Pune. They pursued their respective course and with exposure to different companies during their internships and industry-satisfying pedagogy they were able to bag placements in Larsen & Toubro.
Do not hesitate to join NICMAR Pune if you get an admission call from them. Just dive into the curriculum and everything is sorted.
